The Division of Mineral Mining administers the Certification program for persons working in mineral mines whose duties require competency, skill and knowledge to perform consistently and safely. The following certifications are offered by DMM:

In addition, all miners commencing work after January 1, 1997 must have General Mineral Miner Certification (GMM). We now offer this certification program in a self-contained, on-line program (the candidate must still have the application signed by a Certified Foreman or equivalent).

Most certifications require specific minimum requirements, including years of acceptable experience and additional occupational training such as First Aid or Journeyman certification. See work experience requirements »
